The tweet walks through REA (Reverse Engineer Anything), a viral GitHub repo (354k stars, 88.9k forks, MIT) that reverse-engineers anything from app behavior down to native binaries:
- Turn the repo into a Claude skill: /reverse-engineer
- Run "/reverse-engineer [company + website]"
- Get breakdowns of ICP, offers/monetization, traffic funnels, and competitive edges
- Iterate by asking how to build the same for your own business
The attached screenshot shows REA disassembling /usr/bin/true (Mach-O, aarch64) with static analysis and decompilation. Author calls it one of the best repos of the year.
